MongoDBStore session broke, needs a clear fix

[Markalot787]

const MongoDBStore = require("connect-mongo")(session);

const secret = process.env.SECRET || 'thisshouldbeabettersecret!';

const store = new MongoDBStore({
url: dbUrl,
secret,
touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60
});

store.on("error", function (e) {
console.log("SESSION STORE ERROR", e)
})

const sessionConfig = {
store,
name: 'session',
secret,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true,
cookie: {
httpOnly: true,
// secure: true,
expires: Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7,
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
}
}

app.use(session(sessionConfig));

//replaced with this solution i found but still broke

const mongoStore = require("connect-mongo");
const secret = process.env.SECRET || 'thisshouldbeabettersecret';

const sessionConfig = {
name: 'session',
secret,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true,
store: mongoStore.create({
mongoUrl: dbUrl,
secret: secret,
touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60,
}),
cookie: {
httpOnly: true,
expires: Date.now()+ 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7,
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
}
}

sessionConfig.store.on("error", function (e) {
console.log("SESSION STORE ERROR", e)
});

app.use(session(sessionConfig))

What's the error that you're getting?

[Markalot787]

i ended up with this

const secret = process.env.SECRET || 'thisshouldbeabettersecret';

const store = mongoStore.create({
mongoUrl: dbUrl,
secret,
touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60

});

// store.on("error", function (e) {
// console.log("SESSION STORE ERROR", e)
// })

const sessionConfig = {
store,
name: 'session',
secret,
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: true,
cookie: {
httpOnly: true,
// secure: true,
expires: Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7,
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
}
}

// sessionConfig.store.on("error", function (e) {
// console.log("SESSION STORE ERROR", e)
// });

app.use(session(sessionConfig))

Same issue here, I installed the same version that Colt uses in the videos.
npm i connect-mongo@^3.2.0

please see here

[benilrichards]

const MongoDBStore = require("connect-mongo")  // change this line

const store = MongoDBStore.create({  // change this line
	mongoUrl: dbUrl,  // change this line
	secret,
	touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60,
});

This worked for me.

My installed dependency version
"connect-mongo": "^4.6.0"

@benilrichards Thanks for sharing this solution, I had similar issue in console "Error: Cannot init client. Please provide correct options", I'm using ("^4.6.0"). Although variable name i used is "MongoStore" instead of "MongoDBStore" and it still worked!

const store = new MongoStore({
    mongoUrl: dbUrl,
    secret: 'thisshouldbeabettersecret!',
    touchAfter: 24 * 60 * 60
}); 

[I-karmayogi]

Any idea with new versions?
